We had a great start to another week in third grade!
We started with some 2-digit addition practice that included
regrouping for morning work. I may refer to this as bell work at times,
as that is what I have always called it.
In reading we read Bruno's New Home. Your child
had his or her book, and their homework is to read this to an adult. We
also took a reading inventory so that I can see how each one feels about
reading. We discussed the genre, which was fantasy and why it was labeled
as such.
They retold the story in their own words in their writer's
notebooks.
We took a pretest in math that goes along with our new
adopted curriculum. I am anxious to grade these. Again, these are
not grades to go into the gradebook. They are for me to see where we are.
We also took our STAR test today in the computer lab.
In spelling we went over our list, and said, then spelled,
then said again, each word. Our words for the week are:
- clap
- camp
- hand
- stamp
- snack
- rack
- grabs
- glad
- bill
- miss
- click
- pink
- sick
- grin
- lift
- cat
- bit
- man
- anthill
- cramp
Your child came home with his or her own list that you may
keep. Our test will be Friday.
